The Standard BOL Form is a crucial document in maritime trade and shipping operations within South African jurisdiction. It is used whenever goods are transported by sea, serving three essential functions: as a receipt confirming the carrier's possession of cargo, as evidence of the contract of carriage between shipper and carrier, and as a negotiable document of title to the goods. The document must comply with South African legislation, including the Carriage of Goods by Sea Act 1986 and the Sea Transport Documents Act 65 of 2000, while also adhering to international maritime conventions. The Standard BOL Form includes detailed information about the parties involved, cargo specifications, vessel details, and terms of carriage, making it essential for international trade transactions, customs clearance, and transfer of ownership rights.
